I saw red pieces like flesh in the stool, is that from my intestinal wall? but no blood? do i have ibs

Unlikely: Red material in the stool may be from items in your diet. The first step is to confirm the presence of blood in your stool by a simple stool test. Ibs (irritable bowel syndrome), is not associated with blood in the stool.
